IAN: Well, that identity is holistic is manifestly
obvious and I have challenged many here to present
even one example of a non-holistic identity, and,
apart from insults, none have been able to do so.

Ironically you've implied holistic identity is
lacking evidence. Can you site the evidence of
non-holistic identity you seem to be aware of?

I've also shown how a zero-sum can be derived
from any state of difference and many physical
quantities. It's quite an eye-opener to discover,
lo and behold, a zero-sum of all energy has been
"on the books" since 1962, yet generally unknown,
even as it provides linchpin support for on of the
leading theories of our time, the Big Bang theory.

The one identity that I believe is nonholistic --
that is, it isn't derived from interrelations --
is the number 0. Zero is zero exactly due to its
difference with itself (0 - 0 = 0), but every nonzero
number n is what it is due to its difference
from zero (n - 0 = n and n = 0 + n) and since n is
not 0, all nonzero numbers are holistic identities,
which is to say, n is derived by relation to not n.

But zero is an identity attribute of each number
relative to itself, and is a measure that there
is a symmetrical distribution of identity attributes
in a given system, which is a symptom of
holistic identity, evidenced in the case that
the identity of all nonzero real numbers is
holistic and the sum of all reals equals 0.

Everything must = 0 (I posit) since everything,
the whole itself, isn't derived from external
relations, and zero is the "map" of the self-
lf relation, which is a null relation.
